The creation of this manual was made possible by an Undergraduate Research Opportunity
Expansion Initiative Grant, funded by UNC President Erskine Bowles under the UNC Research
Development Initiative

The manual, meant as an introduction to Undergraduate Research at WCU and an information
resource for students pursuing research and creative projects, was written and edited
by Honors students Amanda Bienhaus, Jan Carrier, Lydia Crystal, Teegan Dykeman, Heather Grosse, Maleah Pusz, and Jordan (Youmans) Parsons.
